New York State Of Mind Lyrics

New York State Of Mind Lyrics

as written and sung by Billy Joel:

Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or Hollywood.
Im taking a greyhound on the Hudson River line
I’m in a New York state of mind.

I seen all the movie stars in their fancy cars and their limousines,
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens,
But I know what Im needing and I dont want to waste more time-
I’m in a New York state of mind.

It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues,
But now I need a little give and take,
The New York Times, the Daily News…

It comes down to reality-and its fine with me cause Ive let it slide,
Don’t care if its chinatown or riverside,
I dont have any reasons, Ive left them all behind-
I’m in a new New York of mind.

Repeat 3rd verse

Im just taking a greyhound on the hudson river line-
cause I’m in a New York state of mind.

Listen to the song and watch nice presentation... Enjoy.
